The sun was shining through her window and even under her thick comforter Holly knew it was late in the morning. She moved around a bit, but realized that she was being held down by something warm and heavy. She moved her hand up to try and push against the wall so she could get out of bed, but when she touched the wall she realized that it was soft and warm. She opened her eye slowly, someone was in her bed, and she couldn't remember who. She did a quick check on herself.

"Ok, at least my pants are on." she thought to herself. Suddenly the man shifted, moving her closer to him. She tried pulling away but he kept brining her back. After a few minutes of struggling to get free, she finally managed to pull away. She sat up and looked over at the man sleeping next to her. Holly let out a huge sigh of relief to see it was just Sirius.

His hair was a complete mess, but he still looked as handsome as ever.

"A few more minutes won't hurt." she thought, cuddling back under Sirius's arm right under his chin. He stated to move and small groaning noises.

"Morning lovely." he said half asleep.

"Morning." there was a pleasant silence between them. "How did you get in my bed?" she asked confused leaning up on her elbow looking down at him.

"You asked me to be here last night. I was going to crash on the couch, but you so wonderfully asked me to stay." she sighed and rested her head on his chest.

"I've really missed you Sirius." settling herself under his chin. He began to play with her hair. Neither of them said anything for a while.
"Why did you stop writing to me?" he asked softly.

"Because you stopped writing to me. I thought you and Peter had forgotten about me." Sirius' muscles tightened at the mentioning of Peter.

"I would never forget about you. It's just you were leading such a wonderful life, you seemed so happy. I figured you didn't need someone like me brining you down." She sat up.

"What do you mean by that? Sirius. Your one of my best friends. If anything you letters made everything better. Yours probably more than anyone else's."

"Really?"

"Yeah." He grabbed her around the waist and tackled her and pinned her down. "What do you think your doing? Your crazy."

"About you." He began to tickle her.

"Sirius…stop…you…jerk…I…hate…you…stop!" she said in-between giggles.

"You don't mean that."

"Yes…I…do…" she was laughing so hard it was getting hard to breath.

"If you mean it say it without laughing. Just what I thought, you don't mean it." he finally let up, he sat up in-between her legs. "You know you look really sexy lying there like that."

"Mr. Black where did that come from?"

"Just stating the facts."

"Your horrible." she said sitting up getting out of bed and pushing him over.

"That was uncalled for."

"No, I don't think it was." She said pulling out a fresh pair of jeans and an old tank top.

"What are the plans for today?" He said coming from behind kissing the back of her neck. This took her by surprise. It felt really nice, but he had never done that before. Maybe that was a perk of not being in school anymore.

"Well because it's Saturday and I don't start work until Monday I figured I would take this opportunity to get the rest of my stuff out of storage and finish moving in."

"Would you like some help?"

"Of course. But don't you have work?"

"That's the benefit of what I do. Weekend's off."

"Nice. I wish I could say the same."

"You don't get any day's off?" He said this like it was the worst injustice ever.

"Sundays."

"Sunday is now my favorite day." she laughed.

"Your being awfully affectionate today."

"Always am after a good night's sleep."

"Sirius, do you need a change of clothes?" She now noticed that he was still wearing his nice black dress pants and his black button-up shirt was thrown on the floor.

"What you don't have pant's that will fit me?"

"Nice try."

"Ok, how about I'll just apperate home and be back here in a half hour."

"Sounds wonderful." He leaned down and kissed her cheek, then with a popping noise he was gone. For the first time in a long time she felt giddy.

She had changed into an old pair of jeans, and an old tank top. She ran a brush thorough her hair and pulled it back into a pony tail. Just as she was finishing a quick breakfast she heard a knock on her door.

"Now he's knocking, what happened to my Sirius?" she said opening the door. But it wasn't Sirius at the door.
"James? What are you doing here?" she said in a bit of a shock.

"Well that's a fine way to say hi to your future cousin-in-law. I wanted to see if you knew were Sirius was at. He didn't show up this morning, and I went to his house thinking he just had a bad hangover and slept in. But he wasn't home." He explained.

"Well, he's there now. He left a half hour ago."

"He spent the night I take it?"

"Yeah, he wanted to make sure I got home ok, and somehow he ended up staying. James, wipe the smirk off your face, nothing happened. He should be back any minute, he's going to help me finish moving. Would you like to come in?" She ushered James into her living room. "Do you want some coffee or something?"

"No thanks, I'm fine." They sat on a her couch. "You know" James said after a minute of silence. "it doesn't surprise me that he stayed last night."

"Why not?"

"He's always had a soft spot for you."

"Really? That would explain a few things." she added as an after thought.

"Like what?"

"Like when he told me this fondest memory of us was that night in our sixth year, I think it was, when I had a little too much to drink at the Hufflepuff party, and we ended up sleeping on the couch together."

"He's always said that." Holly looked down a thought came to her.

"James, did you tell him about Avrik?" this took him by surprise.

"I might have mentioned it to him."

"That would explain why he stopped writing."

"Possibly, you know how he gets with women that he loves."

"Loves?" just then a popping noise filled the room and Sirius stood before them. Even in his worn out ripped jeans and old shirt he still looked incredibly handsome. Somehow the more messy he looked, the better he looked.

"James! Uh…oh shit. Sorry. I…um…forgot. Sorry mate." He said running his hand though his hair.

"It's ok, shopping for my wedding to the girl I love isn't important." a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"When did you into going shopping for the wedding, I though you agreed that it was easer for both of you if Lily just did it."

"Yeah, well, apparently I need a suit…so…I really don't think she'd appreciate us showing up like this." Holly laughed at the image of James and Sirius showing up at the wedding like that.

"So I take it that Sirius is part of the wedding party?" she asked sweetly. She had missed so much.

"Who else would be my best man?"

"Remus?" she joked.

"He's still standing up there with me, but I figured…."James tried to explain, but very badly.

"It's ok. I was just kidding."

"This is why I'm glad your back." Sirius said coming behind her and putting his arms around her waist. James gave them a funny look then realized something.

"Oh! Lily wanted me to give you this." he said giving Holly a piece of parchment. She moved away from Sirius, she hated people reading over her shoulder.

"James, could you tell Lily that I would be more than happy to meet her next Sunday." He nodded though he didn't understand.

"Sirius, why don't you go with James. I'll be fine, I moved all this stuff by myself. It'll be fine."

"Holly we can do it another time…"James started.

"Do you really think Lily will let you get away with that?"

"No. Good thinking. How did we survive with out you?" Holly shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh, just get out. You've got important stuff to do." she said playfully pushing them out the door. Sirius stopped in the frame of her door just as she was pushing him out.

"This shouldn't take to long, I'll come back when were done." He said with a mischievous smile.

"Who said I'd be here? How do you know I don't have other plans?"
"Because I know you."

"Get out." she said laughing.

"If you need any help, I'm sure Remus would come over and help." James added as an after thought.

"I don't want to bother him. Besides I'm a big tough girl I can handle this by myself." they laughed a bit when she said that.

"What? I can take care of myself."

"We know lovely, but…we just missed you, that's all."

"James. Sirius, if you don't go now I'll tell Lily that you're off buying powder blue tuxes."

"You wouldn't." James challenged.

"Wanna bet?" she said coolly raising an eyebrow. James backed down and they left with a loud pop.
